Synopsis
Re-creating the author s intention from the manuscripts, this study shows that Fitzgerald regarded none of his material as final but, rather, as material toward a novel quite possibly about the American Dreama respectful study of the American business hero.""Mr. Bruccoli s transcription and analyses of the manuscripts and notes for the unfinished novel serve two related purposes: they enable us to gauge the state of F. Scott Fitzgerald s work-in-progress at the time of his death and thereby to reassess this work properly.Examination of Fitzgerald s drafts reveal that he regarded none of this material as finished. There are no final draftsonly latest working drafts. After Chapter One there are no chapters, and even this is marked for rewrite. And Fitzgerald s undated last outline provides only topics or ideas for the thirteen unwritten episodes."""The Last Tycoon "has always been read as a Hollywood novela novel about the movies. It is far from certain that the title was final, but it is clear that Fitzgerald conceived Monroe Stahr as a tycoon. Fitzgerald s tentative title The Love of the Last Tycoon: A Western is instructive: it connects Stahr with all the other poor boys who went West to seek their fortunes. I am the last of the novelists for a long time now, Fitzgerald wrote in a note for "The Last Tycoon. "His statement does not refer to technique or to form, Mr. Bruccoli claims; it can be understood only in terms of theme and character. Stahr exemplifies Fitzgerald s belief in the American Dreamdecency, honor, courage, responsibility, and the possibilities of the American lifeand Fitzgerald regarded himself as the last of the American novelists writing on this great theme.", Re-creating the author's intention from the manuscripts, this study shows that Fitzgerald regarded none of his material as final but, rather, as material toward a novel quite possibly about the American Dream--a respectful study of the American business hero.

- a***a (190)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook was priced well and arrived in condition described. My only complaint is it was shipped in a very thin plastic mailer, and one corner of the cover and several pages were scuffed and curled as a result. I would have appreciated the seller either using a thicker mailer or doubling the thin mailer to protect my purchase, as I've had other sellers do.
